This candle I bought in a set of 3, all different heights. They were shipped well-packaged, and look lovely. Be aware that the "ivory" I would say is more of a vanilla-pudding yellow (I would go with white next time, for what I was wanting). The bases underneath have slight wax bumps making them slightly unsturdy on a table with kids around, but a creative person can mend this problem with a small knife or a hot surface. The centers of the candles are consistent with the outer shell and they burn steadily, gradually, and beautifully. I will definitely buy again due to the price--best around!
